This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce tiiis docur :ent have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pr-;»jes. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating edjsoent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You wtH %nd a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again-beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation. Silver prints of "photographs" may be ordsrsd at additions! charge by «.vriting the Order Department, giving the catalog number, title, author and specific pages you wish reproduced. 5. PLEASE NOTE: Some pages may have indistinct print. Filmed as received.

Agribusiness students are compared to four base populations on respective distributions of MyersBriggs personality types. A statistical t test checks for personality bias in evaluating student performance. 0 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.Standing in front of a classroom, a teacher looks out and observes that each student is physically different from the next based on tangible features which are easy to recognize. At the same time these students have intangible features which are much more difficult to discern. Personality is one of the intangibles. It is a complex composition of psychological, social, environmental, and physical characteristics. A person relies as much on affective skills as cognitive ones in order to understand the concept of personality. But, a student is not the only one in the classroom with a personality-a teacher has one as well. From their educational experiences most adults can flashback to being a student and remember a teacher who related to them on a positive and personal basis, almost like a kindly regarded member of the family. At other times, a former student can remember a teacher with whom the relationship was aloof and impersonal. Even as parents we

Educators recognize the need to integrate higher order cognitive skills into courses, but have difficulty in trying new methods. Active participation in an agribusiness management game is tested, with lecture-dominated class time reduced, to evaluate the affect on student use of cognitive skills.
